WEDNESDAY’S WOW! 169 – FRESH NEW COLOURS FOR THOSE MALE CARDS YOU MAKE?

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #169. Some Fresh New Colours for creating Masculine Cards.

Do you find Masculine cards hard to make? I know I do. I resort to the blues, browns, yellows, reds.

Well, I have some fresh new colours to try.

What do you think? What colours will you try out next??

This is good timing with Father’s Day coming up soon here in Australia. But these are great for Birthdays and any other occasion for the boys. Big and Little Ones.

So maybe Pin this Image above or Save it so you can turn to it when you have some cards to make.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

A SIMPLE LOVELIEST TREE BIRTHDAY CARD!

Jenny Hayward

I have been playing with the Loveliest Tree Bundle recently. This is one of the cards we made at our Loveliest Tree class last month.

I went simple on this card. Embossing the white card with the Metal Place Embossing Folder gives it added texture.

The paper is from the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper.

This Loveliest Tree stamp set is very similar to the Lovely as a Tree Stamp set from years back. But this one has dies! Which is so good.

This is the Loveliest Tree Bundle.

You can see more of it in my store -> HERE.

You can order at the above link (if you are in Australia). Please use the Host Code: 7M7V93KG

Or you can contact me directly and I can help you out.

Happy Crafting,

SUNDAY SUITES – LET’S GO FISHING!

Jenny Hayward

Today with Sunday Suites we will have a look at the Let’s Go Fishing Suite.

It’s coming up to Father’s Day next month here in Australia. So perhaps this might work for some Aussie readers for the men in their life. And it’s not just for the fishermen.

The full Let’s Go Fishing Suite Collection.

The Suite includes:

  • GONE FISHING PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET
  • GONE FISHING DIES (If you get the dies and stamps as a bundle you save 10%).
  • TWISTED ROPE 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER
  • LET’S GO FISHING 12″ X 12″ (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

The Gone Fishing Bundle.

I love how there is even the die for a tackle box. But I have seen that used for lots of other images too.

Here is the Let’s Go Fishing Paper in more detail. There are some prints that you can use for any occasion not just for the fisherman (or fisherwoman). 🙂

The colours in the paper are: Boho Blue, Calypso Coral, Misty Moonlight, Mossy Meadow, Pebbled Path, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink, Very Vanilla, Wild Wheat.

What about this Twisted Rope 3D Embossing Folder. It looks pretty cool. You can see a sample using it further below. But consider using it for other “non-masculine” cards even. What fun!

Now for a sample group. Lots of ideas.

You can see a bit clearer on this card below how you can use the Twisted Roper Embossing Folder. It adds quite a bit of texture. If you rub some ink over with a Blending Brush it highlights some of the “rope”.

The Let’s Go Fishing Suite can be seen more in my store -> HERE.

And you can shop there too if you need some crafting supplies and you are in Australia. If shopping online please use the Host Code: R663PWDW.

Have a great day,

SIMPLE SUNDAY STAMPING WITH ADVENTUROUS JOURNEY!

Jenny Hayward

Some simple stamping for you on this Sunday. And since I have been playing a lot with the Adventurous Journey Stamp Set I thought I would keep this one simple.

Just a 3 stamped boats on a card with a sentiment.

The sentiment is from the Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set and it was diecut with the Beautiful Shapes Dies. The red banner was just a strip of Real Red card and I snipped some banner ends with scissors. Then some Red Rhinestones to finish. You can have bling on Male cards right. 🙂

Have a great Sunday.

CELEBRATE EVERYTHING WITH ADVENTUROUS JOURNEY STAMP SET!

Jenny Hayward

Another card with the Adventurous Journey. I have loved this stamp set. Really! It’s a great one for the boys cards – or the adventurer.

I have used the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper which is an awesome pack of paper. It is a Host Rewards item from the current Mini Catalogue that you can redeem with your orders. It has paper suitable for Christmas, birthdays, Halloween even but suitable for lots of occasions.

The kayaker was coloured with the Stampin’ Blends.

I have more with this set that I will share with you over time so watch out for them.

BOOK BINDING FOLD CARD WITH ADVENTUROUS JOURNEY STAMP SET!

Jenny Hayward

I have been playing a lot with the Adventurous Journey stamp set lately. It’s such a great one for the boys cards. It was fun to use this in class last week too.

I wanted to try something a little different. I have noticed Book Binding Fold cards around and thought that would work well.

Here is the card.

The outside.

The kayaker was coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. For the sentiment I stamped the words on the Balmy Blue card and Crushed Curry Card. Then diecut them with the long sentiment die in the Sending Dies. It was easy to just trim them down.

I find that a lot easier than trying to squeeze a sentiment on a thin strip of card.

The paper is from the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper pack which is a Host Reward in the Mini Catalogue. It’s great paper by the way. It has such a range of colours and prints. Why not take a closer look at it.

This is the inside.

I think I will just have to put together a video soon for it. So stay tuned on that.

HALF-FOLD LET’S SET SAIL CARD!

Jenny Hayward

I have been playing with the Let’s Set Sail stamps and punch recently. Today we had fun using these in class. I thought I would share with you one of the cards which was quite popular.

It’s a simple card really and just cutting off the front of the card at half way.

Let's Set Sail Half Fold card

This is the inside.

I am loving the circle diecut using the Beautiful Shapes Dies. Do you notice the squiggle embossed line around the edge? It gives your images a fun effect. It layers well with one of the Layering Circles Dies too.

I love that the Waves of the Ocean Designer Series Paper co-ordinates so well with the stamps and dies too.

The paper is running out very soon. Be sure to grab it.
